[Lila](LBN69YJ3) sat on the steps of her school, her notebook clutched tightly in her hands. Ever since her first day, [Lila](LBN69YJ3) had big dreams. She wanted to help others, just like [Ms. Harper](37Q3BDQV), the school counselor who always knew how to make her feel heard and accepted.

In her notebook, [Lila](LBN69YJ3) wrote imaginary letters to students who needed help, giving them advice and words of encouragement. It was her little way of practicing for her big dream.

One day, during recess, [Mia](2M2Y43Z6), a classmate with short red hair, sat beside [Lila](LBN69YJ3) and told her she felt left out. [Lila](LBN69YJ3) carefully listened and offered a suggestion: 'Maybe we can ask others to join us at lunch!' [Mia](2M2Y43Z6) instantly smiled.

Inspired by this moment, [Lila](LBN69YJ3) decided to start a 'Kindness Club' during lunchtime to bring students together. [Ms. Harper](37Q3BDQV) helped her organize it and loved [Lila](LBN69YJ3)’s thoughtful ideas.

The Kindness Club grew fast! At lunchtime, students shared ideas about how to help one another. [Lila](LBN69YJ3) encouraged everyone to talk about their feelings and come up with activities to include others.

One day, a boy named [Ethan](BDX4SNVV) joined the club. [Ethan](BDX4SNVV), who was usually quiet, shared for the first time how he was nervous about speaking in front of the class. [Lila](LBN69YJ3) encouraged him warmly.

With [Lila](LBN69YJ3)’s help, [Ethan](BDX4SNVV) practiced his courage by reading aloud during the next club meeting. When he finished, everyone clapped and cheered!

As the weeks passed, the changes around the school were clear. Students greeted one another in the hallways and helped each other during classes. Even [Ms. Harper](37Q3BDQV) noticed the difference.

One day, [Ms. Harper](37Q3BDQV) announced to the whole school: '[Lila](LBN69YJ3) Johnson has shown us that one person’s kindness can truly change the world around them.' [Lila](LBN69YJ3) blushed but felt proud.

[Lila](LBN69YJ3) smiled as she remembered her first day of school and how [Ms. Harper](37Q3BDQV) inspired her. Now, she had her heart set on becoming a school counselor one day too.
